Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Organization

The Company generates net sales from the sale of equipment to John Deere dealers and distributors. The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of agricultural equipment; a variety of commercial and consumer equipment; and a broad range of equipment for construction, roadbuilding, and forestry. These operations (collectively known as the “equipment operations”) are managed through the production and precision agriculture, small agriculture and turf, and construction and forestry operating segments. The Company’s financial services segment provides credit services, which finance sales and leases of equipment by John Deere dealers. In addition, the financial services segment provides wholesale financing to dealers of the foregoing equipment, finances retail revolving charge accounts, and offers extended equipment warranties.

Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions

The Company’s Smart Industrial operating model is focused on making significant investments, strengthening the Company’s capabilities in digitalization, automation, autonomy, and alternative propulsion technologies. These technologies are intended to increase worksite efficiency, improve yields, lower input costs, and ease labor constraints. The Company’s Leap Ambitions are goals designed to boost economic value and sustainability for the Company’s customers. The Company anticipates opportunities in this area, as the Company and its customers have a vested interest in sustainable practices.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Industry Trends for Fiscal Year 2023 – Industry sales of large agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada for 2023 are forecasted to increase approximately 10 percent compared to 2022. Industry sales of small agricultural and turf equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be down 5 to 10 percent in 2023. Industry sales of agricultural machinery in Europe are forecasted to be flat to up 5 percent, while South American industry sales of tractors and combines are expected to be flat to down 5 percent in 2023. Asia industry sales of agricultural machinery are forecasted to be down moderately in 2023 as volumes in India remain subdued. On an industry basis, U.S. and Canada construction, U.S. and Canada compact construction, and global roadbuilding equipment sales are expected to be flat to up 5 percent in 2023. Global forestry industry sales are expected to be flat to down 5 percent.

Company Trends – Customers’ demand for integration of technology into equipment is a market trend underlying the Company’s Smart Industrial operating model and Leap Ambitions. Customers have sought to improve profitability, productivity, and sustainability through technology. The Company’s approach to technology involves hardware and software; guidance, connectivity and digital solutions; automation and machine intelligence; machine autonomy; and alternative propulsion technologies. This technology is incorporated into products within each of the Company’s operating segments.

Customers continue to adopt technology integrated in the John Deere portfolio of “smart” machines, systems, and solutions. The Company expects this trend to persist for the foreseeable future.

Demand for the Company’s equipment remains strong, as order books are full throughout 2023. Agricultural fundamentals are expected to remain solid through 2023 with farm net income in the U.S. and Canada expected to be near historical highs. Crop prices remain favorable to our customers in part due to weather conditions putting downward pressure on yields. The Company expects sales volume of large agricultural equipment to be greater in 2023 than 2022 in North America. Sales volume for small agriculture and turf equipment is expected to be lower compared to 2022 due to less demand for consumer-oriented products, partially offset by stronger demand for mid-sized equipment. Construction equipment markets are forecasted to be steady. Strong U.S. infrastructure spending, industrial construction, rental inventory restocking, and housing stabilization are expected to more than offset moderation in office and commercial real estate construction. Roadbuilding demand remains strongest in the U.S. and emerging markets in South America and India, largely offsetting flat fundamentals in Europe. Net income for the Company’s financial services operations is expected to be lower than fiscal year 2022 due to less-favorable financing spreads, a correction of the accounting treatment for financing incentives offered to John Deere dealers recorded in the second quarter of 2023, a higher provision for credit losses, higher selling, administrative and

​

general expenses, and lower gains on operating lease dispositions. These factors are expected to be partially offset by income earned on a higher average portfolio.

Additional Trends – The Company has experienced supply chain improvements over 2022 beginning in the second quarter of 2023. The reduction in supply chain disruptions contributed to higher levels of production compared to 2022. As a result, the production schedules in 2023 are more aligned with the customers’ seasonal use of the Company’s products, marking a return to historical seasonal production patterns. Additionally, supply chain improvements have contributed to meaningful reductions in production costs including premium freight and material costs. Supply chain disruptions impacted many aspects of the business in 2022, including receiving past due deliveries from suppliers, parts availability, increased production costs, and higher inventory levels.

Central bank policy interest rates increased in the first nine months of 2023. Most retail receivables are fixed rate, while wholesale financing receivables are variable rate. The Company has both fixed and variable rate borrowings. The Company manages the risk of interest rate fluctuations by balancing the types and amounts of its funding sources to its financing receivable and equipment on operating lease portfolios. Accordingly, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure. Historically, rising interest rates impact the Company’s borrowings sooner than the benefit is realized from the financing receivable and equipment on operating lease portfolios. As a result, the Company’s financial services operations experienced $133 million (after-tax) of less favorable financing spreads in the first nine months of 2023 compared to 2022. The Company expects spread compression to persist for the remainder of 2023.

Remaining supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates are driven by factors outside of the Company’s control, and as a result, the Company cannot reasonably foresee when these conditions will subside.

Other Items of Concern and Uncertainties – Other items of concern include global and regional political conditions, economic and trade policies, imposition of new or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products, capital market disruptions, changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment, significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and volatility in the prices of many commodities. These items could impact the Company’s results. The Company is making investments in technology and in strengthening its capabilities in digitalization, automation, autonomy, and alternative propulsion technologies. As with most technology investments, marketplace adoption, monetization, and regulation of these features holds an elevated level of uncertainty.

​

Net sales and revenues increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to price realization. See the Business Segment Results for additional details. Net income in each of the periods presented were impacted by special items. See Note 21 for additional details on special items.

An explanation of the cost of sales to net sales ratio and other significant statement of consolidated income changes follows:

Provision for income taxes	​	​	636	​	​	654	​	-3	​	​	2,164	​	​	1,364	​	+59	​

The cost of sales ratio improved in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2023 due to price realization, partially offset by higher production costs. Other income decreased year-to-date due to a non-cash gain on the remeasurement of the previously held equity investment in the Deere-Hitachi joint venture recorded in 2022. Research and development expenses were higher due to continued focus on developing and incorporating technology solutions. Selling, administrative and general expenses increased mostly due to higher employee pay driven by inflationary conditions and profit-sharing incentives. Additionally, the nine-month period was impacted by a cumulative correction of the accounting treatment for financing incentives offered to John Deere dealers and higher commissions paid to dealers. The provision for income taxes was lower in the third quarter of 2023 due to a favorable income tax ruling in Brazil, partially offset by the effect of higher pretax income. The provision for income taxes was higher in the first nine months as a result of higher pretax income and the prior period’s exclusion of the Deere-Hitachi joint-venture remeasurement gain from tax-effected income, which were partially offset by the favorable income tax ruling in Brazil.

Business Segment Results

For the equipment operations, higher production costs were mostly due to elevated cost of purchased components, energy, salaries, and wages.

​

Production and precision agriculture sales increased for the quarter as a result of price realization in most end markets. Operating profit rose due to price realization and improved shipment volumes / sales mix. These items were partially offset by higher production costs, increased selling, administrative and general expenses and research and development expenses, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange.

Sales for the first nine months increased as a result of higher shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Brazil) and price realization. Operating profit for the first nine months increased primarily from price realization and higher sales volume. Partially offsetting these factors were higher production costs, higher selling, administrative, and general expenses and research and development expenses, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange mostly due to a stronger U.S. dollar.

Small agriculture and turf sales increased for the quarter due to price realization in most end markets, partially offset by lower shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S.). Operating profit improved due to price realization, partially offset by higher production costs, lower shipment volumes, and increased selling, administrative and general expenses and research and development expenses.

Sales for the first nine months increased mainly as a result of price realization and higher shipment volumes (primarily in Europe and Mexico), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation. Operating profit for the first nine months improved primarily as a result of price realization and improved sales volumes / mix. These items were partially offset by higher production costs, higher selling, administrative, and general expenses and research and development expenses, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange mostly due to a stronger U.S. dollar.

​

Construction and forestry sales moved higher for the quarter primarily due to price realization and higher shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S.). Operating profit rose primarily due to price realization and improved sales volumes. These items were partially offset by increased selling, administrative, and general expenses and research and development expenses, higher production costs, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange.

The segment’s nine-month sales increased due to price realization and higher shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S.) partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation. The first nine-month’s operating profit moved higher due to price realization and higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher production costs. Prior period results benefitted from the non-cash gain on the remeasurement of the previously held equity investment in the Deere-Hitachi joint venture.

​

The average balance of receivables and leases financed was 22 percent higher in the third quarter of 2023, and 18 percent higher in the first nine months of 2023 compared with the same periods last year. Revenue also increased due to higher average financing rates in both periods. Interest expense increased compared to both prior periods as a result of higher average borrowing rates and higher average borrowings. Financial services net income in the third quarter of 2023 increased as a result of income earned on a higher average portfolio, partially offset by less-favorable financing spreads. Net income for the first nine months of 2023 decreased primarily due to a cumulative correction of the accounting treatment for financing incentives offered to John Deere dealers recorded in the second quarter, less-favorable financing spreads, and a higher provision for credit losses. These items were partially offset by income earned on a higher average portfolio. The accounting correction is unrelated to current market conditions or the credit quality of the financial services portfolio, which remains strong. The allowance for credit losses, excluding the portfolio in Russia, was .36 percent of financing receivables as of July 30, 2023, compared with .40 percent as of July 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

See the Company’s critical accounting estimates discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Sources of Liquidity, Key Metrics and Balance Sheet Data

The Company has access to most global capital markets at a reasonable cost. Sources of liquidity for the Company include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, funds from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and term debt, the securitization of retail notes (both public and private markets), and bank lines of credit. The Company closely monitors its liquidity sources against the cash requirements and expects to have sufficient sources of global funding and liquidity to meet its funding needs in the short term (next 12 months) and long term (beyond 12 months). The Company operates in multiple industries, which have different funding requirements. The production and precision agriculture, small agriculture and turf, and construction and forestry segments are capital intensive and are typically subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for inventories and certain receivables from dealers. The financial services operations rely on their ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance their receivable and lease portfolios.

Key metrics are provided in the following table, in millions of dollars:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	July 30		​	October 30		​	July 31		​
​	​	2023		​	2022		​	2022		​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

Ratio to prior 12 month’s cost of sales	​	​	24%	​	​	24%	​	​	28%	​
​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

Ratio of interest-bearing debt to stockholder’s equity	​	​	8.1 to 1	​	​	8.5 to 1	​	​	8.2 to 1	​

The reduction in unused credit lines in 2023 compared to both prior periods relates to an increase in commercial paper outstanding due to growth in financing receivables and funding mix. The Company forecasts higher operating cash flows in 2023 driven by an increase in net income adjusted for non-cash provisions and a favorable change in working capital.

​

There have been no material changes to the contractual and other cash requirements identified in the Company’s most recently issued Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Flows (in millions of dollars)

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	Nine Months Ended					​
​	​	July 30, 2023		​	July 31, 2022		​
Net cash provided by operating activities	​	$	2,896	​	$	418	​
Net cash used for investing activities	​	​	(4,563)	​	​	(4,430)	​
Net cash provided by financing activities	​	​	3,379	​	​	515	​
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	​	​	125	​	​	(143)	​
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	​	$	1,837	​	$	(3,640)	​

​

Cash inflows from operating activities in the first nine months of 2023 were $2,896 million. This resulted mainly from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, partially offset by a working capital change and change in accrued income taxes payable. Cash outflows from investing activities were $4,563 million in the first nine months of 2023. The primary drivers were growth in the retail customer receivable portfolio and purchases of property and equipment. Cash inflows from financing activities were $3,379 million in the first nine months of 2023, as higher external borrowings to support working capital requirements and financing receivable growth were offset by repurchases of common stock and dividends paid. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $1,837 million during the first nine months of 2023.

Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable. Trade accounts and notes receivable arise from sales of goods to customers. Trade receivables increased $2,887 million during the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to a seasonal increase and higher sales volumes, as well as the effect of foreign currency translation. These receivables increased $2,601 million, compared to a year ago, primarily due to higher sales volumes. The percentage of total worldwide trade receivables outstanding for periods exceeding 12 months was 1 percent at each of July 30, 2023, October 30, 2022, and July 31, 2022.

Financing Receivables and Equipment on Operating Leases. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases consist of retail notes originated in connection with financing of new and used equipment, operating leases, revolving charge accounts, sales-type and direct financing leases, and wholesale notes. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases increased $5,819 million during the first nine months of 2023 and increased $8,261 million in the past 12 months due to strong retail sales. Total acquisition volumes of financing receivables and equipment on operating leases were 32 percent higher in the first nine months of 2023, compared with the same period last year, as volumes of wholesale notes, retail notes, revolving charge accounts, operating leases, and finance leases were higher compared to July 31, 2022.

Inventories. Inventories increased by $855 million during the first nine months of 2023 and increased by $229 million compared to a year ago. The increases were due to higher forecasted sales volumes. The effect of foreign currency translation also increased inventories during the first nine months of 2023. A majority of these inventories are valued on the last-in, first out (LIFO) method.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment cash expenditures in the first nine months of 2023 were $887 million, compared with $596 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in 2023 are estimated to be approximately $1,650 million.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $518 million in the first nine months of 2023. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $2,354 million compared to a year ago due to an increase in accrued expenses associated with employee benefits, accrued taxes, dealer sales discounts, and derivative liabilities.

Borrowings. Total external borrowings have changed generally corresponding with the level of the receivable and the lease portfolio, as well as other working capital requirements.

John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation), a U.S. financial services subsidiary, has a revolving warehouse facility to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes (see Note 9). The facility was renewed in November 2022 with an expiration in November 2023 and increased the total capacity or “financing limit” from $1,000 million to $1,500 million. At July 30, 2023, $1,415 million of securitization borrowings were outstanding under the facility. At the end of the contractual revolving period, unless the banks and Capital Corporation agree to renew, Capital Corporation would liquidate the secured borrowings over time as payments on the retail notes are collected.

​

In the first nine months of 2023, the financial services operations issued $3,207 million and retired $2,309 million of retail note securitization borrowings, which are presented in “Increase (decrease) in total short-term borrowings.”

Lines of Credit. The Company also has access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Worldwide lines of credit totaled $10,352 million at July 30, 2023, $950 million of which were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper, and short-term bank borrowings, excluding secured borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings, were considered to constitute utilization. Included in the total credit lines at July 30, 2023 was a 364-day credit facility agreement of $5,000 million expiring in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, total credit lines included long-term credit facility agreements of $2,500 million expiring in the second quarter of 2027 and $2,500 million expiring in the second quarter of 2028. These credit agreements require Capital Corporation and other parts of the Company to maintain certain performance metrics and liquidity targets. All requirements in the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the financial statements.

Debt Ratings. To access public debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to the Company’s debt securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A security rating is not a recommendation by the rating agency to buy, sell, or hold Company securities. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw ratings based on its assessment of the Company’s current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, reduced access to debt capital markets, and may adversely impact the Company’s liquidity. The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to unsecured Company securities by the rating agencies engaged by the Company are as follows:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​		Senior		​		​
​	​	Long-Term	​	Short-Term	​	Outlook
Fitch Ratings	​	A+	​	F1	​	Stable	​
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.		A2		Prime-1		Positive	​
Standard & Poor’s		A		A-1		Stable	​

Supplemental Consolidating Information

The supplemental consolidating data presented on the subsequent pages is presented for informational purposes. The equipment operations represents the enterprise without financial services. The equipment operations includes the Company’s production and precision agriculture operations, small agriculture and turf operations, construction and forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within financial services. Transactions between the equipment operations and financial services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements.

The equipment operations and financial services participate in different industries. The equipment operations primarily generate earnings and cash flows by manufacturing and selling equipment, service parts, and technology solutions to dealers and retail customers. Financial services finances sales and leases by dealers of new and used equipment that is largely manufactured by the Company. Those earnings and cash flows generally are the difference between the finance income received from customer payments less interest expense, and depreciation on equipment subject to an operating lease. The two businesses are capitalized differently and have separate performance metrics. The supplemental consolidating data is also used by management due to these differences.
